The States- man this year, we knew that Dr. John Hoskin was floziah- ing at that time ln To ta. We thought further research might be o! lnterest ta the High School and passibly others. Dr. Hoskin was prob- ably one o! the most prominent men ta mignatq !rom Bow- manville ta Toronto. H1e was cailed ta the bar in 1863. be- came a K.C. and an outstand- ing lawyer, as well as beipg president and director of many large Toronto corporations. . Dr. Hoskin was not born here, but came from Devon- shire, England, in 1854, anci having, according ta J. B. Fair- bairn, a superior education, ne took 4 up the occupation then most'suited ta his abilities, school teaching. He taught at Zion for two years, then in Bowmanville for four, if we have interpreted Mr. Fair- bairn's text correctly. While in Bowmanville, he ran for trus- tee on the Solth Warl school board, and was de!eated.'

PLEASED TO *HAVE YOU CALL US well known lawyer. In fâct he mentianed it himself wbie~ sPeaking in the Town Hanl here in 1906. Hie studied in turti th three very emanent lawyers, onre being Rlght Hon. Sir Henry Strong, a former Chie! Justice o! the Supreme Court of Cati. ada and another Sir George Butn, ,a former Chiei'Justoe o! Ontario. Toronto was a grbwing city, Dr. lloskin wus clever and wel.l-llked and he made bath a naie and rnoney for himself. Hie had a very beautiful home in Toronto where he en- tertained generausly. In 1906 he entertbined all the teachers of Durham County and a goad many other people as well, the guests numberlng 600 in ail. H1e retained his interest in edu- cation, and Mr. Fairbairun e- marlçs that his bene!actiaris ta Bowirianv11e High Sehool are a qIonument ta him. Alas, memory and records of these things fade away oaver the yeans, and naw, beyond the prize given each yéar in hi& memony, we do not kr*ôw what Lthese benefactlons were. That 'his gifts ta the school the West Durham Agriculturai Society and other benefits ta the town could be forgotten, was unthinkable ta Iif&. Pair- bairn. He remarks that Dr. Hoskln's name was a hause- hold word in Bowmanville in 1906. Amaoig his other honors, Dr. Hoskin was appointed chairman of the board of the University of Toronto. Mr. Fairbairn speaks o! Dr. Hos- kin's "estimable lady", but who she was is not; revealed. Two mare local notes. We understand there is a bust of Dr. Hoskin in the Town Hall- we must look this up-and we are informed that he was Hon- orary Colonel of the 235th Bat- talion. SEARCH FOR THE BEAUTIFUL Attending the Art Display o! the Adult Art Class and dem- onstration of painting given by the instructon, Arnold Hodg- kins, A.O.C.A., wvas a most in- teresting expenxencet? It was f scinating ta watch the pic- t9re*gnow unden the artist's fii~ gens, ane the colons used i obtain the effects o! hot suin- shine and deep shadow. We wene also intenested'to hear Mn. Hodgkins express himsel! very de! initely in fa- vor o! the beautiful In painting, rather than the ugly, or what hé termed "diseased approach" all tao o!ten found in modemn art. "Thank heaven," he said, "we are coming out fnom under the influence a! this type o! painting which seanches for ugly things and uses harsù colons." Mn. Hodgkins said that he does nat close his eyes ta the modern appraach, non the indi- vidual appnoach, non the indi- the main thing should be the search for beau ty. Hear, hear, sir, we echo. In oth*~ words, bravo Mr. Hodgkins. I' Did you read in the paper recently that a Winnipeg lady called some prize-winning painting thene "a nauseating blob", and the huffed artist de- fended himsel! by saying that it pontnayed the cosmic forces. Thene is a nice abstract answer. What do the casmic farces look like? At any rate the artist's interpretation could flot have been the kind of beauty Mn. Hadgkins meant. OFF TO A LUNCHEON We are attending Smith's Litenary Luncheon this week. It is in hon o!o two outstand- ing Canadian authors, Rager Lemelin - "The Plouffe Fam- ily" and "In Quest o! Splein- don", and Lionel Shapino - "The Sealed Verdict", "The Sixth o! June", and others. We have just finished "The Sixth loa! June", and it is a tap-natch novel o! World Wan Il, written with matunity, understandlng, and wanderful cratsmanship- which means that the average neader is flot awane o! cnafts- manshlp at aIl. Many o! you are familiar with some brain childnen o! the othen talented writer, Lem- eli, through viewing The Plouffe Family on TV. We shaîl be glad ta tel you next week something o! what these twa successful autl'ors have ta Say.

Interesting D isplay HeId by Art Group Close ta 90 paintings, repres- enting the best work o! the 20 members o! the Adult Art Class done duning the past year, made a most attractive and interesting display at the Lions Community Centre on Saturday a!ternoon, Nov. 19. Arnold Hadgkmns, A.O.C.A., af Uxbnidge and Toronto, is the instructor o! this enthusiastlc gnoup and on Satunday gave a demonstration of painting which held the close attention of the audience. The paintings were well dis- played in the auditorium of tecentre. Some excellent wonk was evident, the quality comparing mast favorably with the travelling exhibition fon East Central Ontario which was here in the summer. Mn. Hodgkins, who was in- troduced by Mrs. Marion Je!- fery, a class member, said that it was the privilege of anyone with talent ta paint the good things, the beauty found in life, and not the ugliness. "While we do not close aur eyes to the modern apprbach," she said, "I consider with the greatest enmity, modemn junk." Mn. Hodgkins went on ta say, "Whi.le the last thing we want is for everyone to approach a theme in the same manner, there is neventheless a healtny approach as contrasted with a diseased approach." Mr. Hodg- kins said that he thought art was beginning to came out from under the influence o! the diseased appnoach which emphasizes ugly things and harsh colons. People themselves do not want that, he said. Taking thnee sketches which he made while serving in the Arrny in Italy during the last wan, Mn. Hodgkins explained that he would make a compo- site pictune embodyîng parts o! aîl three. The subject made up fnom these was a street scene in Italy, using bright, warm calons ta convey the sun-dren- ched climate, and deep colons ta show the contnasting dark shade. The picture gnew unden Mn. Hodgkins bnush and palette knife, coming ta brilliant life, and canveying a woriderful sense o! perspective and depth. Hie wanked for about two hours while his audience watched, fascinated. Tea and cookies were served by members o! the class in the Green Room, and members were also in attendance with the exhibit.
